Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0246822A2] A device for effecting continuous annular fancy cuts such as serrations around melons (39) and the like comprises an elongated substantially linear base and support member (10) having a trough-like cross section. A flat central portion (14) of the base and support member (10) carries an elongated upstanding generally linear cutter (12) which extends longitudinally atop the member (10) and which is adapted at an upper edge to sever the skin of melons (39) and the like. The shape of the cutter (12) when viewed from above in one embodiment is a conventional saw-tooth and the saw-tooth cut or serration is provided continuously around a melon midsection by rolling the same along the length of the cutter. Side portions (16) of the trough-like base and support member are oppositely inclined at approximately thirty degrees to urge the melon toward a linear or straight line revolution along and atop the cutter.
